Donna,

Guy Hart-Davis' "Word 97 Macro & VBA Handbook" is a good primer, but it's
not a very good reference. Look on Amazon and Half.com.

I'd like to find a good Word VBA reference similar to the old Word
Developer's Kit.

Good luck,
Larry

If you're very new to VBA then the 'Dummies' series has a good book called
'VBA for dummies'. It's not a Word specific book, but the examples are well
documented so that changes can be made to accomodate various VBA packages,
certainly got me on the road to learning VBA.

That book is very light in content, tho well written.
Best book these daze is Steve Roman's Writing Word Macros.

I'd like to find a good Word VBA reference similar to the old Word
Developer's Kit.

No such critter.

The best VBA books are those written for Excel VBA.
That's a good place to start to pick up fundamentals, e.g., the MSFT Press
Excel VBA Step by Step, tho targeted to Excel, has lots of stuff that
applies to Word VBA.

can anybody recommand good book for VBA for MS Word.

My personal preference, from those I've seen, is the
Word 2000 VBA Programmer's Reference from WROX press,
although that may be out of print, so you'd have to look
for a used copy.
